    As far as I can tell it's just an easy way companies can appear more responsible, though it also originally stemmed from more conservative groups, and now it's just an non-issue that fuels itself.

    Because the "badness" of certain words is enforced, that leads people to regard that badness more seriously. So even if those words aren't a big deal, by treating them as such you create the mindset in some people that they are a big deal in a way that makes a lovely feedback loop... compelling more companies to treat those bad words seriously (just to be safe) regardless of if they think they're really an issue or not. Thus widening the feedback loop.
